Ibraniyawa 11
1 Nene uyinnu sa uyenu, unere uyinnuari ule na unit dumun, idinin nayi akone ncaa nimomon, utabbas nimon ile na isa yene ba.
Now faith is the assurance of [things] hoped for, the proving of things not seen.
2 Bara nanere acif bite iwa yinin nighinu bara uyinnu mine sa uyenu.
For therein the elders had witness borne to them.
3 Kiti nyinnu sa uyenuari, tina yinin nworu iwasu makekewa kiti nbellu Kutelle, bara nworo imon ile na iwadi nyenju ba, iwa ke nanya nimon ile na idi sa uyenju. (aiōn g165)
By faith we understand that the worlds have been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen hath not been made out of things which do appear. (aiōn g165)
4 Uwadi kitene nyinnu sa uyenuari Habila wanii Kutelle uzaka dedeii na nafo gwane Kayinu ba, uwasa bara nanere iwa rughe bara lidu lilau, kutelle wa rughe bara uzaka na awa nii, bara nanere Habila duu nliru, nworu ana mal ukuu.
By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God bearing witness in respect of his gifts: and through it he being dead yet speaketh.
5 Nin nyinnu sa uyenuari wadi na iwa yaun Enok ku udu kitene na awa yenu ukuul ba, na iwa seghe ba, “Bara iwa woro awa poo Kutelle ayi kamin iwa yaun ghe udu kitene kani.
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God translated him: for before his translation he hath had witness borne to him that he had been well-pleasing unto God:
6 Tiwasa tipoo Kutelle ayi ba, asa ti dira uyinnu sa uyenu, bara ulenge na aba dak kiti Kutelle gbarsari ayinin au aduku, nin nworu adin nizu uduk kiti nalenge na idin piziru ghe.
And without faith it is impossible to be well-pleasing [unto him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that seek after him.
7 uwadi nin yinnu sa uyenuari, Kutelle was gbaru Nufu ku, mbellen nimon ile na Isa yene ba, nin durtu Kutelle akee uzirgi bara usu tucu kilari mye, bara usu nani amini wati uyu lawa anan ncaah nkuul, bara iwa da lawa anan fiu, Kutelle na udin dasu kiti nyinnu sa uyenu.
By faith Noah, being warned [of God] concerning things not seen as yet, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
8 Nin nyinnu sa uyenuari wati Ibrahim ku, kubi na Kutelle was yicilaghe, adofino anya udu kiti kanga na aba seru nafo ugadu, ame tinna anya sa uyiru kiti kaa na aba du.
By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out unto a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
9 Nin nyinnu sa uyenuari wati ghe adi so nkan kipin nafo kumara, adi so kudanga nin Ishaku a Yakubu, adodong ngadu nalikwali arume.
By faith he became a sojourner in the land of promise, as in a [land] not his own, dwelling in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
10 Nanere wadi bara ame wa yene ubun kiti nalenge na inughere wa kagbire ulenge na unan mbo likiye nin kewe di Kutelle.
for he looked for the city which hath the foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11 Nin nyinnu sauyenuari Ibrahim nin wani mye saraya, iwa seru likara nmaru kube na iwadi ikunno gbongbong, na iwa yene Kutelle ulle na iba yinnu ninghe, ulenge na ana su nani alikawali ngono.
By faith even Sarah herself received power to conceive seed when she was past age, since she counted him faithful who had promised:
12 Bara nani tutun, unuzu nnit ulere ulenge na awa dak susut nkuu awa macu akara gbardang iwa so gbardang nafo iyini kitene kani, nafo licicin kurawa longo na iwasa iguro ba.
wherefore also there sprang of one, and him as good as dead, [so many] as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the sand, which is by the sea shore, innumerable.
13 Inughe vat wa kuzu sa useru nalikwali, nin nani iwa iyinna yene nin nse nmahabi a idutu piit, iyinna inug amarari nanya inye.
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
14 Bara alenge na iwa bellin ile ione wa nutun fong nworu idin piziru nilari nati mine.
For they that say such things make it manifest that they are seeking after a country of their own.
15 Kidegen andi idin kpilizu mbellen kipin kanga na ina nuzuku, iwa se kubin nkpillu.
And if indeed they had been mindful of that [country] from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return.
16 Bara iwadi ncisu kibinai kipin kicine kinnere kitene kani, bara nani na Kutelle wa lanza icing iyicilaghe Kutelle mine ba, tunda na ana kele kagbir bara inughe.
But now they desire a better [country], that is, a heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
17 Uwadi nanya nyinnu sa uyenu, nworo Ibrahim kubi na iwa dumunghe anii Ishaku ku, eh ame ulenge nin liburi liboo awa seru alikawali awa nii gono mye kirume cas.
By faith Abraham, being tried, offered up Isaac: yea, he that had gladly received the promises was offering up his only begotten [son];
18 Kitene nghari iwa bellin “unuzu Ishaku iba yicilu likura fe?
[even he] to whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called:
accounting that God [is] able to raise up, even from the dead; from whence he did also in a parable receive him back.
20 Nin nyinnu sa uyenu wati, Ishaku nin Yakubu ku nmari kitene nimon ncin dak.
By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come.
21 Nin nyinnu sa uyenu kubi na awa cinu ukuu atah vat nonon Yusufu nmari, Yusufu tumuno Kutelle ayedine litin nca mye.
By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, [leaning] upon the top of his staff.
22 Nin nyinnu sa uyenu, Yusufu na imalin mye ndah, alira nbellen nsunu nono Isiraila umasar, a belle nani iyiru akuu mye nanghinu.
By faith Joseph, when his end was nigh, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
23 Nin nyinnu sa uyenu, Musa kubi nmaru mye, annit was nyeshe ghe tipui titat, bara iwa yene ame gonari kicaut, na iwa lanza fiu nduka ngo ba.
By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw he was a goodly child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.
24 Nin nyinnu sa uyenu, nworu Musa kubi na awa kunoo, anari iyiciliaghe gono nshono ngo Firiauna.
By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;
25 Nin nani afere ukosu nniu nan nanit Kutelle nan nworu alanza nmang un kulapi kubi baat.
choosing rather to be evil entreated with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
26 Awa yene ulanzu ncin ndortu Kutelle nafo use nimon nacara ri gbardang, ikatin imon nmasar, bara adin ncisu iyizi mye nse nduk unbun.
accounting the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he looked unto the recompense of reward.
27 Nin nyinnu sa uyenuari, Musa wa suun umasar, na aw ba, bara awa ti ayi akone nyenju nlenge na idi nyenjughe baa latiza fiu tinana nayi ngo ba, bara awa ti ayi akone nyenju nlenge na id nyenju ghe ba.
By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
28 Nin nyinnu sa uyenu awa su ubukin nkallu nkul nin zaminu nmii, bara unan nmolusu nonon nfari wa dudo nonon nfari Isiraila.
By faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them.
29 Nanya nyinnu sa uyenuari ingu wa kafin kurawa kushine nafo kuteen ku kone, kubi na amasarawa wa woro isu nani, kurawe mila nani.
By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were swallowed up.
30 Nin nyinnu sa uyenuari azunu njeriko wa disu, kubi na iwa kiilin nanya nayiri kuzor.
By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been compassed about for seven days.
31 Nin nyinnu sa uyenari Rahap ukilaki, awa nanna nan nalenge na iwa salin ndortu nliru, bara awa seru anan piziru nyinnu asu nani acine lau.
By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with them that were disobedient, having received the spies with peace.
32 Ani iyaghari nbakuru nbellina? bara na kubi ba batini nwan bellin ubellen nan Gidiyon, Barak, Samsin, Jefita, Dauda, Samela, nan Kagisin na nan nliru nin nnu Kutelle.
And what shall I more say? for the time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah; of David and Samuel and the prophets:
33 Alenge kiti nyinnu mine sa uyennu iwa lii likara nilari tigo, isu katuwa kacine, isere alikwali itursu tinuu nazaki.
who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
34 Ibico likara nlah, ukaala litang kieo, ishino nanya tikonu, iso anan naggan kiti likum, ita a soja amara ico.
quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, waxed mighty in war, turned to flight armies of aliens.
35 Awani ba seru abbi nalenge na iba fiu nani, among iwati nani ineo, na iwa yinin ibunku nani ba, bara inan se ufitu nanya nkul ucine,
Women received their dead by a resurrection: and others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
36 Kagisine wa neo nin ba'a nan ngbizu, eh nin ninyeng nan licin.
and others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
37 Iwa filisu nani nin natala, iwuco nani, asari aba, iwa kalizu nami ata nin kusangali, itunna ngalu nin nakpa nakam, nan niyin, iwa so hem, imono nani nanzang.
they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tempted, they were slain with the sword: they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, evil entreated
38 Bara inughe na uyee was caun nani ba, ngalu nanya kusho, nan nakup, a ataii, nan nagbongbon kuteen.
(of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves, and the holes of the earth.
39 Vat nani Kutelle wa yinin nin nighinu, bara uyinu sa uyenu mine, na iwa seru imon ile na iwa su nani alikawale ba.
And these all, having had witness borne to them through their faith, received not the promise,
40 Kutelle se nani imomon dedei, ile imon na ikatin kiti bete, nanya noru sa arike, na iwa yitu lau ba.
God having provided some better thing concerning us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.
